#PNaCl

2023-07-17

Just discovered github.com/WICG/web-smart-card for teaching #browsers #SmartCard #PCSC instead of ... running pcsc-lite in #WebAssembly / #PNaCl over #WebUSB (for #ChromeOS) or exposing the #pcscd socket (e.g., Linux). Notably the #AusweisApp2 is mentioned as one use case!

I hope this gains similar traction as #FIDO2/#WebAuthn/#U2F/#CTAP support in browsers, especially with the recent push for #Passkeys, as smart cards are very widely deployed in orgs and slimming down the stack would definitely be a win here.

#WebAssemby hat gewonnen – #Google verabschiedet sich von #PNaCL ...

Googles plattformübergreifende C/C++-Brücke für besonders ressourcenhungrige Anwendungen im Browser wird nächstes Jahr aus Chrome entfernt. WebAssembly, der Alternative der Mozilla Foundation, werden langfristig die größeren Chancen eingeräumt.
